The main reason they come alone is because no one, not even their parents, care what happens to them. If they make it across Mexico it is just one more mouth for the US branch of the family to feed; if they die en route, problem solved.

About Me

You've heard of "Disgusted, Tunbridge Wells"? Well, I live in Holland Park and I've Had It. Up to here! An old curmudgeon, I rant and rave about things I read, see or hear in the News. Frequently sarcastic, irreverent and libertarian; often wrong - but never uncertain.
